Wondering if you remember me as it's been so long since I was in last
I've been reading but every time I seem to sit to write a decent sized post, someone needs me for something
It's waaaay too hard to do personals, so just want to say Peta, hoping everything with Aly's little head is fixed asap for her xxx
Peanutter... I'm with the other girls, I think you're an inspiration with everything you've been through. Amazing
Sunshine... Hoping both girls settle for you and you get some much deserved rest soon
Big hi hi hi to everyone else!
As for me, this household over the last month has become insane!
Not sure if I've mentioned in here before (but definately have over general bellybelly!) but DH's 17yr old brother has lived with us full-time for the last 2yrs and worked for us... Well after saving him & giving him a 2nd chance at life 2yrs ago, he has shown his gratitude and appreciation by going MIA for the last 6 weeks.
Didn't show up for work or home at all, poor DH has been a mess... Having to find out from staff where he is and what he's doing.
So to cut a long story short, he's just been doing as he pleases and hanging out at his girlfriends house, so DH had to fire him from work... And I found out he's been paying his GF mum board to stay up there, so I asked him to move out of here as well.
Huge month of emotional rollercoaster here, but we've done more than enough to get him back on track... And it's time for us to have our family, home & life back again!
I'm loving it as we haven't had a night since Carmelo was born (or for years previous to that) without someone else living with us (other people over the years before BIL) so it is AMAZING just having us living here!
It's incredible how simpler the household seems without teenagers in and out continuously as well. Add the fact that my grocery bills are about a third of the amount... Happy days
In bubby news, Carmelo was 6 months last Saturday! My goodness, where does the time go?!
I've started him on BLS with a bit of puree (mostly cereal and mashed potato with the puree, but lots of stuff with the BLS) as he likes to play more than feed himself, lol!
He's loving the food, and hasn't affected his BF (except for his sleeping overnight) so I'm thrilled. Selfishly I was worried about him dropping BF and I think I love it more than him, so I'm glad he still wants it just as much.
He's struggling a little with constipation, but hoping his little body works it out soon.
He's trying hard with his sitting... But so far the longest he's sat is about 10 seconds before he sees something like a toy etc and makes a dive for it, lol! All will happen in good time I'm sure!
We almost have a tooth, if not 2 so we've had a few horrid nights, but overall he's doing great.
I am so so ready to be pregnant again... But seeing as how it's $6500 a try for us, we need to save some more cash before then!!!
I'm LOVING not working, and DH and I plan for me not to go back... Luke starts high school after Christmas, and his current workload for homework is huge, so I want to be here full-time for him next year.
Piano teaching unfortunately is not good hours for kids when you have a husband that works nights and no family close by!
Add tutoring, swimming & soccer training etc on top of that, I don't see where I can fit a piano lesson in anyway! DH & I both agree one of us needs to be here for the homework/night routine and TBH I have no inclination at all to go back. If financially everything stays good, I'll stay at home permanently and we'll try from June next year with another IVF cycle.
I'm sure I've forgotten heaps, but I guess that's a huge enough post for now!!!
